I’m Leaving

You

Submitted by Steve Simard

A woman, cranky

because her husband

was late coming home

again, decided to leave

him a note.

“I’ve had enough and

have left you. Don’t

bother coming after

me,” the note read.

Then she hid under

the bed to see his

reaction. After a short

while, the husband

comes home and

she could hear him in

the kitchen before he

comes into the bedroom.

She could see

him walk towards the

dresser and pick up

the note.

After a few minutes,

he wrote something

on it before picking up

the phone and calling

someone.

“She’s finally gone...

yeah I know, about

bloody time. I’m coming

to see you and we

can have some fun. I

love you.”

He hung up, grabbed

his keys and left. She

heard the car drive off

as she came out from

under the bed. Seething

with rage and with

tears in her eyes she

grabbed the note to

see what he wrote.

“I can see your feet.

We’re out of bread. Be

back in five minutes.”

The only thing common between a stork and an obstetrician is the long bill.

Sleepover

Submitted by Tyla Davis

Steve was over at

Jimbo’s house one

day playing cornhole.

All of a sudden, it

started raining cats

and dogs and the two

men ran inside to take

cover. After a couple

of hours, there was no

sign of the rain letting

up.

“I can’t let you go out

in this storm,” Jimbo

said. “Why don’t you

just crash here for

tonight?”

“Yeah, that sounds like

a good idea,” Steve

responded.

So Jimbo went into

the guest bedroom to

make up the bed with

new sheets and leave

fresh towels for

Steve.

As Jimbo was working,

he heard a knock

on the door. Jimbo

hurried to go answer

it. When he opened

the door, there stood

Steve, soaking wet

and shivering from the

cold rain.

“Steve, what are you

doing? Why are you

outside?” Jimbo

questioned.

Clockwork

Submitted by Tyla Davis

In the late 17th century,

Christiaan Huygens

developed the first pendulum

clock, designed

from a concept by

Galileo that pendulums

could be used to keep

the time.

Excited for his new

development, Huygens

decided to tell his

friends about what he

was planning. As he

explained it, his friends

had looks of confusion

on their faces.

“So there will be 12

numbers on this clock?

So the day will be divided

into 12 segments?”

asked one friend.

“No. There will be 24

segments in a day,”

responded Huygens.

“So will the day start

at 1. Like counting?”

asked another friend.

“No. The day will start

at 12.”

“Oh. So 12 will be first

thing in the morning?”

Now

Hiring!

“No, 12 will be at night,”

answered Huygens.

“I’ll be honest, easily

telling time sounds nice,

but the implementation

is very confusing,” another

friend said.

“Oh, and another

thing... 6 means 30.”

I went to see the doctor about my short-term memory problems.

He made me pay in advance.

School Play

Submitted by Tyla Davis

Little Timmy came

home from school all

excited one day.

“Dad, Dad, I got a part

in the school play!”

“That’s wonderful,

son!” the dad exclaimed.

“Who will you

be playing?”

Timmy answered, “I’m

playing a middle-aged

man who’s been married

for 25 years.”

“Well, that’s okay, son.

Maybe next time you’ll

get a speaking part.”

I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and I think,

“Well, that’s not going to happen.”

Missing Person

Submitted by Steve Simard

A lady calls the police

to report her husband

is missing. The police

arrive and ask for a

description. She tells

them he’s 6'2" tall,

blonde wavy hair,

and has a smile that

makes everybody love

him.

The police then go to

the next door neighbor

to verify this report.

The lady next door

tells the police, “You

can’t believe her.

He’s 5'4" tall, has no

hair, and he wears a

perpetual frown on his

face.”

The neighbor walked

over to the lady’s

house and asked her

why she would give

the police an incorrect

description of her

husband.

Work Tips: Stand up. Stretch. Take a walk. Get to an airport.

Get on a plane. Never return.

Dominic was on a

and was getting homesick

for some American

cuisine.

He stopped at the front

desk of the hotel he

was staying at to ask

the concierge if there

were any restaurants

that delivered American

food.

No Fear

Submitted by Steve Simard

After the fire-truck

arrived at a burning

building in a small

Spanish town, the

firemen observed

a man dressed in a

matador’s costume

prancing around on

the roof.

THE LAKE

STORE

14 Waterford Road, Norway

207-743-6562

Four of the firemen

held a safety net and

urged him to escape

from the burning building

by jumping into the

net.

He refused and loudly

proclaimed, “I’m

Fearless Jose the

bullfighter who is afraid

of nothing, not even

fire.”

The firemen begged

and pleaded but to

no avail. Jose kept

prancing around while

repeating the same

phrase over and over

until the firemen got

really sick and tired of

hearing it.

Finally, when the

flames began to

scorch his backside,

Jose announced he

had changed his mind,

was ready to jump. He

then closed his eyes,

said a quick prayer,

and leaped off the

rooftop.

As his body hurtled

toward the safety net,

the four firemen shouted,

“Ole!” and quickly

moved it aside.

A rabbit only eats vegetables,

all day long and only

lives 5 years.

Meanwhile a tortoise

doesn’t run and does

it lives for 450 years.

The Fortin Group

Media Partners:

So far, auditions have

been going terribly and

the director is starting

to get desperate. The

director turns to Jason

and instructs him to

figure out a new

strategy to find a few

actors.

Jason puts up flyers

and makes countless

phone calls to no avail.

A few days later, Jason

mentions the issue to

one of his friends

who works at the local

bar.

The friend says, “Give

me three days and

you’ll have all the

people you need for

the job.”

Jason is elated because

his job depends

on it, so he gives his

friend the studio’s

address.

The next day, Jason

goes into work and

finds the director

standing in the empty

studio and fuming with

anger. Jason is confused

and asks about

the situation.

Continued from previous page

The director gives a

short, curt, response.

“You’re fired!”

Jason, still perplexed

by the situation, packs

up his things and goes

home. He turns on the

news that night and

sees that the studio had

been robbed; absolutely

everything was gone.

Jason called up his

friend and asked where

he found the actors.

The friend replies,

“Actors? I thought you

said you needed some

people to be deceptive

cons.”

Jason is furious. He

screams at the man on

the other line, “The job

was acting in a Transformers

movie, you idiot!

I said decepticons,

not deceptive cons!”
